  Q: How to check and replace spark plug wires in distributorless ignition systems?

  A: Distributorless ignition systems are equipped in these models. The Spark Plug wires get connected directly to the ignition coils. For many V6 engines (excluding 3.4L), rotating the engine may be required to access the rear spark plugs or wires. There are no spark plug wires in Quad-4 engines. On 3.4L engines, you must first remove the upper intake manifold to get to the right side (rear) spark plugs or plug wires. To reach the right side (rear) spark plugs or plug wires on 1996 and later 3800 engines, one must remove the acoustic engine cover first. Check the spark plug wires at recommended intervals as well as whenever new spark plugs are installed in an engine. Inspect one wire at a time so that they cannot be mixed up because it is important for good running of an engine. Remove the wire from the spark plug itself, by pulling on its rubber boot after grabbing and twisting it a little bit. Do not pull on the wire itself, only on the rubber boot itself. Inside of this boot there will be corrosion that looks like white crusty powder. Pushing both wire and boot back onto end of sparkplug; it should fit tightly.
